Notes
- I have seen amma grinding fresh jeera so I understand its important to use freshly ground jeera for great flavour as she insists to do so. I used my mortar and pestle to get the job done.
- Just crush it coarsely that's enough.
- Onion and garlic adds flavour to this puttu so add lots.
- Saute in medium low flame so that it gets roasted slowly and evenly.
- I recommend using small onion for this recipe. I used a combination of both small and big onion.
